NASA’s Lucy spacecraft recently revealed that asteroid Donaldjohanson is a wobbling, peanut-shaped object that has been shaped by collisions, sunlight, and even a brief encounter with liquid water long ago. The asteroid formed about 155 million years ago when fragments from a violent collision gradually came…
What should the aftermath of an exploding star look like? You would expect a vast cloud of shattered debris and hot gas, blazing at first and then slowly, steadily cooling over thousands of years. So when astronomers turned NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory on a nearby galaxy, they were surprised to find dozens of these supposed…
